Hi there, You might know that besides this newsletter where we primarily collect content of other, I also create quite a lot of content myself. Both about Perl on the Perl Maven site and about a lot of other subject on the Code Maven site. They seem to resonate well with some people. I am always looking for ways to reach more people with this content. I have a new experiment. LinkedIn used to be about mutual connections, but these days you can also create 'company' or 'brand' pages that people can follow without the need to know each other. I set up such a page and I call it Code Maven. I am going to share there all of my technical content. Both Perl and non-Perl. If you find my content useful, please follow my page. That will encourage me to share more. Enjoy your week! Gabor Szabo |
